CURED:BY HEROIC MEANS.

BosToN, Dec. DIR. Potter, OF this
city. who is one of the most skillful
surgeons in the country, performed
remarkable surgical operation few
days ago The patient was man of
about fifty or sixty years Of age, whose
existence for many years has been simply
one Of torture on account Of his extreme
suffering from neuralgia pains in his
face, or rather upon one side Of it. 1t
was decided that the only remedy-a
heroic one-was the removal Of the dis
eased nerves from the face after the
patient was etherized. DR.. Porter made
an incision at the angle of the jaw
where IL hinges into the skull The jaw.
bone beingla bare, the part where the
mental foramen Is located was trepanued
or drilled away.
The doctor then pruce eded TO catch
hold or the diseased nerve, and by a
slight exertion pulled 1t out Of the TO-
ramen. Next an incision was made under
meath the eye, laying bare the nerve,
which was also pulled out, or rather as
much OF it as the docter could get. A
similar operation was performed just
over the eye In this way the greater part
patients of the face, which had caused
the much pain and annoyance, was re
moved.
The operation lasted fully an hour.
and resulted in most satisfactory man
ner. The whole network of nerves In
the check was not destroyed, as that
would be impossible, but the main dis
eased parts were removed, so that the
patient will not probably again ex-
perience the excruciating torture of
acute neuralgia in the part, although
he will not have the control as formerly
over that side of his face.

The iftieth congress which was
called to order last Monday at twelve
O'Clock. reelected Speaker Carlisle,
and proceeded with the preliminary
work cf organization. Outside OF the
indispensable appropriations tariff leg
islation will be the most important
task of the body. 1t is admitted on
all hands that there must be rednc-
tion of revenues by from fifty to one
hundred millions, but nobody seems
to be equalto the question bow it is to
be effected The most pausible plan
seems to be that advanced by Randall
and his wing. They insist upon the
retention of the tariff. except upon su-
ger, and advocate the abolition OF
nearly all internal revenue taxation,
excepting probably whiskey. The
work of organization was accom-
plished in a very harmonious manner
and what is best of all the sound and
polite address by Speaker Carlisle
met the approval of all. He frankly
declared that "basty and inconsiderate
legislation on subjects more or less af
fecting large financial and industrial
interests might produce, temporarily
ar least, disturbances and embarrass-
ments which I more prudent course
would entirely avoid. Investments
made and labor employed in the nu-
merous ana valuable industries which
have grown up under our present
system of taxation ought not to be
rudely disturbed by sudden and radi-
cal changes in the policy to which
they have adjusted themselves That
is broad craftsmanship, and there is
no more apprehension of probable
split of the Democratic party Oh the
tariff question. A judicious tariff rev.
/. enne reduction, as recommended by
Mr.. Carlisle will be heartily supported
by his entire party.

dread of q voyage across the Atlantic,
and has finally made up his mind to
visit America next spring. He expects
to spend about two months on this

visit the principal cities OF the United

The latest excuse which the anthra-
cite coal kings furnish for refusing to
listen to the demands of the striking
miners viii not hold water. They say
that for the past three years, with tie
lo,c price of coal, they have been ope-
rating at a great loss to themselves
and only since the price of coal ad-
vanced can they expect to come ont as
the gamers. Poor fellows, they truly
deserve to be pitied. The facts in the
case are, before 1888 they made mon
ey at $4.00 ton, and since then coal
has gone up while wages have held
to the same status. And still these
moneyed operators boldly claim that
they are too poor to pay higher
wages.
